Though it is larger in population than Arklow and Wicklow towns, Greystones has been limited to Town Council status while its two smaller neighbours enjoy Urban District status, which gives them greater autonomy and control of their own finances. Expect this to generate growing passion as the exploding population soon makes it the most populous town in the county.
